David and Bill are absolutely right,
All of the stitching style is the same and very neat and calculated. I looked at some of my WWII period worn shoulder flashes as well as the original battle dress. What I noticed is almost all have different stitching, space between stiches , color thread and done at speed as you would expect from a busy tailor shop or army RCOC shop. Many of the stitching runs off the flash actually where the operator of the sewing machine had to change direction or doubles back in areas. Then a lot were hand sewn by the soldier or lady friend with very different out comes in terms of neatness.
The items listed by a "certain" seller have always made me Leary, this last batch even more so, to many inconsistencies, odd accompanying documents and they just don't have the Ora about them that they have been there even if being there means worn on the ship home and left in the closet for 70 years.
